To improve your experience update it ALP boss scared for the party By AAP7 21pm Aug 29, NSW Labor boss Kaila Murnain has broken down in tears as she gave evidence to the Independent Commission Against Corruption on a day on which she was told her career with the party was over. The ICAC inquiry is examining whether Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo, who is now banned from Australia, was the true source of 100,000 said to be donated by 12 people from a 2015 Chinese Friends of Labor dinner. We'd been through a lot that year, there were multiple court cases ongoing, there were by-elections current, I was scared for the office and the reputation of the party, she told the inquiry in Sydney. An emotional Ms Murnain, who took the top job in 2016, said she was scared for the ALP after hearing Mr Huang - a prohibited donor - had donated to the party during a conversation with upper house MP Ernest Wong in September 2016.
